Lenggeng Vase 39cm - Antique Gold

The Lenggeng Vase is a round, flat moon shape with a deeply hammered surface and a narrow slot opening across the top. It stands 39cm high and 42cm long, yet it is only 10.5cm wide from front to back, so it looks like a bold disc from the front while taking up little room. The antique gold finish is the real draw: warm gold catches the raised ridges of the hammering, while a cooler blue grey tone settles into the hollows, giving the surface the look of old metal that has gathered a patina over years. It is a piece of decor for indoor rooms.

Because it is so slim, the vase suits places where a rounder pot would crowd the space: a mantelpiece, a narrow console table in a hallway, a window sill or a bookcase shelf. On a sideboard, the flat face shows to full effect from across a room. The shape is strong enough to stand alone as a sculptural piece, and the slot opening suits a few dried stems or grasses if you want a little height. It pairs well with warm woods, dark painted walls and brass or bronze accents, and it gives a plain room a point of texture and shine.

The hammered texture runs across the whole face, so light moves over it differently from every angle, and the darker interior is visible through the opening. At the base the round body flattens into a narrow foot, which lets the disc stand upright on a level surface. It weighs 1.48KG, light enough to lift down from a high shelf with one hand, so moving it to dust or rearrange a display is easy. Before you choose a spot, check the depth of the shelf or sill you have in mind against its 10.5cm width, and allow for its 39cm height beneath a higher shelf.
